User reviews

Users appreciate The Epoch Times app for its organized interface, quality content, and more objective reporting compared to mainstream media. However, repeated complaints include subscription management difficulties with unexpected charges and poor customer service, annoying autoplay videos, app stability issues like freezing and slow loading, complicated sign-up and email verification, as well as notification problems that hinder reading the full articles. While the app offers valuable news content, technical and usability problems reduce user satisfaction.
Pros
  • Well-organized and easy to navigate compared to the website.
  • Content and reporting style are generally good and more objective than mainstream media.
  • Minimal intrusive ads in free or trial versions, clean reading experience.
  • Subscription offers access to extensive and valuable news content and additional features like documentaries and health education.
  • The news covers a wide variety of topics and provides good in-depth research, especially on certain subjects like China.
Cons
  • The app frequently logs users out and has subscription management issues, causing unexpected charges and complicated cancellations.
  • Video autoplay cannot be disabled and videos start playing loudly and automatically, even when turned off in settings.
  • App performance issues such as slow loading times, delays in article display, freezing when reading articles or posting comments, and general bugs.
  • Subscription process and email verification are complicated and unreliable, causing user frustration.
  • Notifications are either inconsistent, difficult to manage, or do not link properly to the related article within the app.

Zero stars. Horrible, glitchy app and ruthless customer service. Couldn't ever use the app or read articles with my subscription. Would constantly log me out. I thought I un-subscribed like 2 years ago either thru app or app store (apparently, that's not how it works or Google was charging me like how??), only to find today they have been charging me even more than before. Customer service did nothing but try to sucker me into another subscription. And they flood you with emails.

The app itself seems to work fine. The cost is my primary issue with it. However I'm tight with my money and truly believe all information should be free. Everyone wants to nickel and dime us for everything nowadays. Personally I think perhaps a free option with ads would benefit your growth and the public. Also a discount for over 50 or disabled would be a great thing as they often struggle the most. When folks are struggling the media is the first thing folks usually cut off to save. 🙏
